Queen's Pier in Ramsey is to be made safe, at a cost of £1.8 million.
The decision was taken in Tynwald after a long debate, during which members ruled out refurbishment, which would have cost £9 million.
The court agreed to the 'bare minimum' option put forward by Infrastructure Minister Phil Gawne, which was to maintain the pier's stability and prevent any further deterioration.
Mr Gawne said it was 'a sensible and practical' decision in the current financial squeeze:
'All sorts of possibilities' as future of MDC to be reviewed
Report to consider future function of arms-length company as construction costs soar
International cybercrime investigation to feature at financial crime conference
US Treasury to visit Island to discuss transnational crime empire
New food standards rating scheme launched
Inspections to be carried out by UK inspectors
Fundraisers embark on walk along 'The Road That Brought Us Here'
'Our destination may be Murrayfield but our purpose reaches far beyond it'
